An update after a multi-year absence. Having walked many paths both on- and offline since last I returned here, the thought occurred that I could reestablish or create entirely anew contacts in corners of the web I once frequented.

Have you tried reloading, if you have an older save?

If not, you could try removing the extra experience with Shadowkeeper.

When people act in an ostensibly moronic way because of faith, I'm always reminded of the fact that they believe their god to be omniscient. By knowing everything, he should know what a person will do. Therefore, praying for anything is logically pointless, as whether you do it or not, if there is a ...

I've heard, from too many sources to be coincidental, that he did NOT die at home, but collapsed, was taken to the hospital, and subsequently was found having a stroke in the children's ward. If it's true, I understand the media wanting to avoid it, but sugarcoating something like that seems wrong ...

If you're starting a new game, go for it, but it doesn't work with existing ones. As I recall in my game, Viconia got no new spells at all (and didn't get the Nightcloak of Shar kit) while Cernd got some new spells.

I haven't yet bothered to start a new game, so can't say on that point.

Excuse me, Claudius, but I noticed you said "art is an expression of the state of the mind". Could you elaborate on what you mean by that? I initially took it as you meaning to say art expresses how sane or enlightened one is, which I frankly find completely ridiculous. Please explain.

Damn, this took me a while to read through.

It's probably ridiculous of me to do so, but I feel it is my duty as an artist to respond here.

It is my firm belief that art itself is not in the eye of the beholder, but the value of it is. Any fool can pick up a brush, throw paint on a canvas, and ...

Brilliant, but yes, somewhat old.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. :)

Tricky, your suggestion didn't work (I just got an error message saying it couldn't play the file). However, I messed around with the audio settings, and switching 3D Audio thingy from Software Mode to Hardware Accelerated fixed it.

Yay, I can finally play ...

Freezes for a few seconds

So the game seems to freeze for a few seconds when an enemy notices me, when I kill it, when I die and occasionally when moving from area to area outside.

I have some 40 mods installed, so it could easily be caused by one of them, or some kind of AI conflict or whatever.

So, I thought I'd ask if ...

I have quite a different computer (Nvidia cards, for example) but I did have the same issue for a time. I found that disabling 3D rendering fixed the issue, but that caused some lag issues, especially in large battles.

Since then, however, I must've done something accidentally to fix it, as I ...

Damn, these look good like this... they're fairly new, so thay haven't been worn out at all yet as far as I can see, still as black as the day I bought them. I have an older pair of similar ones, and they do seem to have lost a bit of their colour... ah, well :rolleyes:

I've never cared much what materials clothes are made out of, as long as they look and feel good, and seem like they'll last. Sadly, I've proved to be a poor judge of the last point. :(

It's happened to me once, as well. I fell asleep in a car, and though I can't remember what I dreamt, when I thought I woke up the car had come to a stop in front of a ferry, as we were crossing a river.

Boxed copy, no doubt about it... won't get it 'till Friday at the soonest though as I live in Europe :( There's just something about holding an actual physical box, and the knowledge that it contains a game.

Also, if your hard drive fails or something, the game is gone unless you have a boxed copy ...
